This is very good and easy; I made this twice for breakfast and both times we really enjoyed it. Yet even after the second time I couldn't figure out exactly how the seasoning is supposed to taste. Maybe it's just my barbaric taste or maybe I've been messing up, but it seems that if I absolutely follow the recipe the filling comes out a bit too salty and not spicy (or sour) enough. The first time I ended up adding a bit of lime juice and cayenne, and the second time a bit of lemon juice and chili paste.
